In this hour and a half at your disposal, you can choose to visit some of the most interesting things like the leaning bell tower or the house of Bepi Suà, the Lace Museum which is housed in the historic Palazzo del Podestà of Torcello and which exhibits rare examples of this precious fabric, known and appreciated throughout the world.

We suggest you visit the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, the ruins of the Baptistery of San Giovanni Evangelista, ‘Attila’s Throne" and the Devil's Bridge, today still wrapped in a mysterious legend.

While the concept of this tour was excellent, the day I went fell far below my expectations. Firstly, and this is not the fault of the tour group, the weather was awful, and a lot of this tour happens outside, so it is worth checking the forecast before you book. Additionally, it was nearly impossible to understand the guides over the ship speakers, and that led to a lot of confusion for the group.

Could not find the meeting place. The yellow tent said the did not have us on their list. Lot of money for nothing

I loved how relaxed and patient the greeter was. We tourists tend to be nervous about reservations, and the greeter just said stand here, we'll leave soon. The boats were all on time. The Murano leg of the trip included a glassblowing demo. They also take you through the giftshop, but there's no pressure to make a purchase. The Burano leg is just as friendly. The lace-making demo is optional, and don't try the Bussola, the traditional pastry/cookies of Burano because you won't stop eating them! Torcello is the last leg of the tour, and it's very relaxing, especially if you have kids. There's plenty of open spaces for them to play.

Informative glass factory tour in Murano, not enough time in Burano, waste of time in Torcello! Overall good day out!

The instructions to find the Piers were great and we had no trouble at all. Somebody was on the pier to meet people about half an hour before and we boarded about 10 minutes before. The boat was ok. Some of the chairs had broken seats and the toilet wasn't very clean. Fortunately the journeys between islands were only about 30 minutes. Our tour guide was brilliant and the time given for each island was perfect. We had plenty of time to explore Burano and our daughter was blown away by the glass demonstration in Murano. We could have perhaps had a bit longer in Torcello see the museum and other sites. Overall we really enjoyed the day and it was good value for money. Would recommend.
